Methods: This study is a one-group pretest-posttest design: a quasi-experimental study. The study population consisted of 38 students who were enrolled in the advocacy course in the final year of nursing school in a public university. A ten-week Disability Advocacy Education Program was implemented. Data was collected using the Data Sheet and Multidimensional Attitudes Scale Toward Persons with Disabilities. Results: Male students were found to have higher mean scores after the education; there was no statistically significant difference for other variables such as family structure, place of residence, and whether they have received education on disabilities. Conclusions: Nursing students have a positive attitude towards people with disabilities, and that male students' attitudes improved after education. Implications for International Audience: Advocacy education provided to students help them develop a positive attitude towards people with disabilities.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdvocacyDisabilityPeople With DisabilityNursing StudentsPatient AdvocacyArticle191356357892-s2.0-85131215829Q2WOS:00090712630001910.1515/ijnes-2021-0164
